It has been 26 years since that beautiful first episode of The Pretender. Jarod, Miss Parker, Broots and Sydney are seriously missed but I’ve very thankful for the 4 seasons and 2 movies we did get.

Happy Pretender DAY!

It has been 25 years since we first saw little Jarod say, “I’m finished!”

I loved this show so much from day one. Back then you could go onto the NBC website which had a section of “offices” for Miss Parker, Broots, Sydney, etc and profiles for Jarod, Kyle and Angelo. It was fantastic. To top it off they encouraged fans to join the “Centre Exchange” and become a Centre Operative or Pretender.

I loved the Centre Exchange and made many a Pretender friend there. I’ve lost touch with most of them but it also inspired me to create Pretender Headquarters way back when Geocities was a thing. It took me some time and it went live in 1999.

Share your love of The Pretender and tell us your Pretender origin story. How did you discover The Pretender?

Happy Birthday to Harve Presnell, gone but not forgotten.

Harve was in practically everything, or at least I saw him in a lot and anyone who was part of The Pretender became rather special to see anywhere. And wouldn’t you know he was born in Modesto, California which is George Lucas and Jeremy Renner’s hometown too. It is were American Graffiti takes place and Monsters vs. Aliens. And I can drive there so that’s fun not that Modesto seems quite so special when you go. Just a smaller city like them all.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Parker. I’ve always wondered what happened to you in the end.

Happy Birthday, George our Major Charles.

I know he was a Bond at one point but the few times I’ve seen him in things… Jarod’s dad. The whole time you wonder about Jarod’s father I actually wondered who would have the presence to be Jarod’s dad. I think George did a great job. I could see it. Impressive guy is the father of an impressive guy. Made sense.

And what do you know but George and Willie share a birthday. Very cool.

Happy Birthday to Willie Gault who was Willie the Sweeper.

Admittedly, I do not have great pictures of him from the show. If you do and you are willing to share, please do because I’ve had a tough time finding great ones and getting screen captures is also hard because I have to find him and get a shot where they show him in the forefront rather than behind Raines on shooting Miss Parker from a helicopter. In Willie’s defense he was trying to shoot Mr. Parer. 😉

Point is… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to Kelsey Mulrooney who portrayed Debbie Broots!

Happy Birthday to Leland Orser who portrayed our favorite misfit Argyle!

Happy Birthday to our favorite Mr. Broots. Jon Gries!

So what is you favorite Broots scene?

All of Jarod’s pretends are now up.

Currently working on images.

I hope you all have a safe and fantastic Halloween!

We have established a connection with The Centre’s systems and are continually working to keep the connection active. There are some aspects of their system we are still working on accessing. We are hoping to have Centre Personnel, Red Files and Subject files soon along with more of Jarod’s notebooks (episodes).

We have thwarted The Centre’s attempts to bring down the PHQ’s access to Centre files. We have nearly all data files up currently. We are working on notebooks of Jarod’s pretends, subject files, Red Files, and personnel dossiers. We are still working hard to get into the Centre surveillance and bring you images however at this time the Centre is winning on that front.

More when we have it.

We’ve made a few small changes to the navigation bar. We’ve added a Media Center which has both the streaming and the Image Gallery in it. Please bear with us while we get everything working.

The Blue Notebook section which was dedicated to RPG is now it’s own section under the PHQ link on the end of the navigation system.

New site poll! Come and see! LINK

We’ve added a link to our online photo gallery. We are still in the process of organizing the folders but you are more than welcome to look around. Come check it out!
